Delphi Programming question
I want to play the same wav file over and over again,
without accessing the hard disk over and over again.
The length of this file is 1/400 minute, and I want
to play it 400 times a minute without reloading it
from HD. Time is critical here.
Someone said I should use streams: far to complex
to find out on my own.
Can someone give a working example.
1) must run under delphi 2.0
2) the start of the repeating playing must be controlled
(be started) by pressing a Tbutton
3) same for the end
4) the speed (that is when the next repeation is starting
must be variable
5) It must not be a component, but code which can be
inserted in the mainform
Thanks

this example can help you
var m : TMemoryStream;
begin
m := TMemoryStream.Create;
m.LoadFromFile( 'D:\TEST.WAV' );
sndPlaySound( m.Memory, SND_MEMORY );
m.Free;
end;
var m : TMemoryStream;
begin
m := TMemoryStream.Create;
m.LoadFromFile( 'D:\TEST.WAV' );
sndPlaySound( m.Memory, SND_MEMORY );
m.Free;
end;

Thanks Mirek, but I reject your answer because I get:
Undeclared identifier sndPlaySound
Undeclared identifier SND_MEMORY
Could not compile TEST.PAS
What am I doing wrong?

the media player can loop if you make the notify event start the player again but this seems to cause a delay.
You really need to somehow build a data structure that contains the wave I will play with it when I can - interesting idea though
